Coronavirus

Democrats and the media are determined to use the coronavirus as a political cudgel against President Trump in the 2020 election. They are not even pretending that they aren’t politcizing the virus anymore. Take for example, CNN legal and national security analyst Asha Rangappa, who tweeted out this crass suggestion, after the coronavirus death toll increased to 100,000 Americans:

According to MSNBC Deadline host Nicolle Wallace and New York Times editorial board member Mara Gay, President Trump's refusal to wear a mask is just more proof that he has "disregard for human life" and that the only thing that matters to him is his own ego.

While the coronavirus pandemic has upended television programming and viewing in a litany of ways, one thing has remained the same, which has been the Fox News Channel's domance as the most-watched network in the cable TV industry. FNC also continued its beatdown of liberal rivals MSNBC and CNN in total day numbers, primetime ratings, and the coveted advertising viewership of people between 25…

Life is filled with nuance, with complexity. Take, for example, the case of Amy Cooper. Cooper is a 41-year-old white woman who worked at Franklin Templeton, an asset management firm. She was walking her dog without a leash in the Ramble section of Central Park when she was confronted by a black man named Christian Cooper (no relation). He told her to leash her dog; she refused.

Is it important to have racial or sexual diversity in our fight against the COVID-19 pandemic? Heather Mac Donald suggests that some think it might be in her City Journal article "Should Identity Politics Dictate Vaccine Research?" The funding priorities of the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control suggests that they think diversity is an important input in making…

Leading off his eponymous Fox News show on Tuesday with a montrage of liberal media hypocrisy on coronavirus lockdowns, Tucker Carlson brought on veteran journalist Lara Logan to further excoriate the liberal media for showing anger and disapproval with the reopening of America and people daring to leave their homes. Logan stressed the importance of looking “at the whole context of something” and…

Over the Memorial Day weekend, while Fox News Channel was practicing good journalism by informing its viewers about Governor Andrew Cuomo's dishonesty in trying to blame the Donald Trump administration for the New York Democrat's order to force nursing homes to accept Covid-19 patients, thus leading to more of their residents getting sick and dying, CNN forwarded the Cuomo administration's…

On Wednesday’s The View, Joy Behar was already questioning the legitimacy of the upcoming presidential election, by claiming that if Trump wins, it’s because he cheated.The topic came up while the hosts were blasting Trump for promoting a conspiracy theory on Twitter, in his bitter battle with MSNBC host, Joe Scarborough. But Joy Behar showed she was no better by pushing her own baseless…

The usually more placid Squawk Box exploded on Wednesday as two of the co-hosts blasted each other about the shutdown, jobs and Donald Trump. Co-host/New York Times journalist Andrew Ross Sorkin mocked fellow co-host Joe Kernen as nothing more than a puppet for “your friend” Donald Trump. Kernen accused his fellow host of being too negative on the stock market and recovery. 

When the cool kids sneer at you, do you wear it like a badge of honor? Mike Lindell should. He’s the “MyPillow Guy,” the TV-friendly entrepreneur and enthusiastic Trump supporter. He’s also a former drug addict who got himself clean and turned into an outspoken evangelical Christian.

What is it with liberal outlets and their apparent virtue-signaling obsession with eliminating meat from our diets? The New York Times published a wacky op-ed headlined “The End of Meat Is Here.” In the sub-headline, author Jonathan Safran Foer grumbled that “If you care about the working poor, about racial justice, and about climate change, you have to stop eating animals.” [Emphasis added.]…

Many of us have seen videos of people acting like tattletale "Karens" during the coronavirus pandemic. However, few instances of "Karening" are quite as hilarious as what happened to MSNBC reporter Cal Perry when he tried to pull a Karen live on MSNBC on Memorial Day at Lake Geneva, Wisconsin when he pointed at someone who was not wearing a face mask. Little did he or Kathy Tur in studio expect…

Hear that? The inane chirping? That means its quadrennial celebrity cicada season again. Every four years some of the great, the near great and the not great (yet all unquestionably ingrates) from the entertainment world emerge to threaten to deprive us of their presence if we vote incorrectly. 

It’s official: The coronavirus is a partisan weapon for the New York Times. The paper deployed it in its co-lead story slot Monday -- Memorial Day --  “Virus at Its Deadliest in the Strongholds of Democrats.” The online version of that headline was even blunter: “The Coronavirus Is Deadliest Where Democrats Live.”
